ELECTRIC FOOTBALL WILL NEVER DIE! AS LONG AS WE ALL PRESERVE IT!

Love that board hockey game and great idea to bring them all into the museum! Why not bring more attention to all of the games. The audience is definitely there!

"What is lacking is that one nationally and internationally recognized organization, that can set the universal standards for game play and format for league and tournament competitions that a large enough number of "players and coaches" will accept. The Miniature Football Coaches Association (MFCA) came close, but that got overrun with people who were only interested in promoting their particular agendas and styles of play and resistance to creating something that everyone in the game and hobby could accept. and embrace." You are the man! Yes, I read a lot about the Museum and it is the premiere cultural switch of the game--keeping people up to speed with trends, coaching, competition, preservation, and incredible information and the lot! He is a great organizer and I think he has the mental aptitude to do it, and do it right. "If the game ever went international on the level you are talking about, which would be amazing, in my opinion, I think the visual audience needs to see a game that moves fast that doesn't interfere with the natural continuity and flow of the game and play without long countdowns, turnaround plays, and all these stops we have seen on YOUTUBE regarding other leagues. Again, that is fine for their league, but that is where the debate begins in collaborating. The game has to keep a viewers attention and that is a whole other issue. We had a fantastic cameraman who knew just how to capture all the action close up, but he is out in Los Angeles. I never met him, but he is Billy O'C's friend and I have seen his work. But I guess if this really went to TV land, they'd figure all that out. These issues would be excellent debates on an international level. The people who want to promote agendas should be a smaller part of the discussion and isolated to different discussion. The greater part of the discussion is to embrace the people who play by listening to their ideas, obviously). We are guilty of all of the above by the way, especially when it comes to rules." Thank you so much for sharing your compelling ideas. That is great fellowship! Lev-

Also! I forgot to mention that your facebook link is awesome. You have built such a great audience and people should know your credibility and reputation in preserving electric football's history. We don't look at any one person as the hero of the game's innovation. That was earned by Norm Sas, not us. Our league is just a take-off from both our childhood passion and the men who made it happen at Tudor Games. We are satellites of his success in what he wished to accomplish. Lev-

Yes understood! And we are creative in where we play, by sharing and opening up our homes to league members. We commit to each other like men do and we take it from there. It isn't easy but we manage because we are organized. People love stats and chasing records in the league, and that is what brings on so much fun! Just playing the game isn't enough. To each his own! We respect everyone's approach and whatever works for you is awesome. We accept that people's league are great in the way they play and run their leagues. Nothing is free in New York! LOL! It is so much fun but for us even more fun that at the end of the day there is something more rewarding than the fun and games, there are dues and a payout as you know. In the future, we will test a few of the ITZ bases and see where that goes, but since time is running out I am not sure we will all see their worth in one season. As for the promotional, I pushed Billy O'C on that but he is too wrapped up. If anyone can make a film he can. He should do a professional documentary on the game. Yes, many people have done great things for the hobby, including you! You are preserving it. These guys in our league will never play for free, and in a way it makes for a great league. After all, who wouldn't want to earn a few dollars for doing what we love as a hobby. Norm Sas was a visionary and he may have had his own idea of how this game would morph, but if he didn't we all sure do! Lev

Looks like a great league guys--I saw the posts on the finals season standings! Awesome! Who are your favorite teams in your league? What makes them fierce? What are your biggest challenges as coaches and in keeping the league committed?

With just one season remaining maybe those bases are the future for us when we break off. That is going to be a very sad day because I am just going into my 4th season.

Thank you for the response. These guys had some in the tourney that Freeport just played in had several ITZ bases. We are voting on that shortly and maybe we can bring those bases into the league. I have heard great things about them. I am pretty sure if there was a BIG money payout, some of the guys might be interested in tournaments. I have to look that Music City League up! Surely, there is always someone better than the LIEFL, and I know for me, I always learn! WOW! I wish we knew you back then too. New York has changed drastically Sir. It has turned into a dump in my opinion. Ed Viggs is the guy to get--he knows all about Nashville. He went to Vanderbilt U and he knows a slew of EF ballers! Just looked your league up, looks great. Do you guys keep records and stats to chase for records? I didn't see much posted, but great picture. One of the allures of this league is that we play for money. It is awesome to know that we are not just playing for the hobby. That might intrigue other coaches to join an honest league. It keeps coaches committed and in the hunt to be competitive, win or lose. Lev-

BEAUTIFUL CURT! LOVE IT!

The Nassau league grew from our college days at Hofstra University. We never followed Tudor or Miggle because we just purchased games, not even realizing that there were tournaments. We were too busy studying, going to school, and for fun, playing electric football. We had about 35 guys in the league and it was amazing! Everyone had a team, but the teams were not as good as the Nassau EFL, but I will say this, the quality of the player bases I think, ws better than that of today. Just an opinion.

It is one thing to have a mental game plan and talk about it, but it is a whole nother to execute it in live play. I am a silent coach who loves the fun of the game and the hobby. Have to be able to be a chameleon on all sides of the ball in any league. Solitaire is great! If these guys ditch because of the glue (Billy O'C), I will do my own Solitaire with all of my teams. The savvy is the technology in the LIEFL and the work that goes into keeping records, which is lacking in other leagues. Me thinks every league needs a loud coach like Freeport, win or lose. His talk keeps the game interesting and the coaches yearning for more, but beating him is beating his radicalism in my mind. LOL!

From what I have seen it doesn't matter what he runs, he wins! They couldn't stop his running game, but maybe a little luck was on his team's side. One coach tried his three-four defensive scheme but he was demolished. Freeport was averaging 10-12 yards on his runs with the LIEFL #20 ranked Falcons, and he just chipped away at the defense. You never know who is gonna play on the field.

Not like Viggs who runs great traps, tags and double-team runs with a running blocker to either side of the ball and the tackle and guards trapping inside or outside at his service, but then again Viggs is an excellent offensive mind who is cool, calm, quiet and collective! He's my favorite to watch.

I am the only one organized enough to pull it together! We will see. Lev!

He uses three or four blocking schemes that I have played against--the traditional man on man, pulling linemen or waggles seems to be his favorite. Not sure about that accumulating yardage part. He also uses a tough front five in common plow type offensive line that plows everything in it way. Nothing sophisticated, he seems to keep it simple. If we can stop his kick returns and limit them, he is beatable and moreover, if you can get into his head and shake his confidence, that is the best in him folding, but not this year. Levi-

Yes! They are in a world of their own! Our coaches may join the league in 2025 if they are interested.

(Garden City New York). Sunday Written By Paddy Brannigan and Levi Vick. Win or Lose, Money talks! A first! This past weekend to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Day, the Nassau EFL (NEFL) in Garden City, New York I attended the Nassau Tournament of Champions to watch LIEFL-Johnny-Freeport compete against their best and whoever the finalist would be in their TOP GUN Championship, after their LI Gladiators and LIEFL Member Bobby Biggs brother Andy Biggs, was crowned Champion three weeks ago in the NEFL. Primed and ready coming off of a huge win over our LIEFL Los Angeles Chargers in OT, our own LIEFL Super Bowl XVIII Champion Johnny-Freeport stormed the Nassau 67-BIG MEN League with his proud LIEFL Champion Atlanta Falcons (9-2), but to play their champion, Freeport did not know that his Falcons would be vetted through a 16-man team tournament, nor did Freeport seem to care. He came to play and to attempt to win more money. Rather than cover the game like we do in the LIEFL, so that we could enjoy the game, we just wrote a summary by talking into the phone in an email and then editing after. It's too much work. LIEFL Member Levi Vick competed in the NEFL league for 10 years, and Bobby Biggs brother Andre has played in the league for five years. It was LIEFL-Coach Joey Pizz who convinced the former two-time Nassau SB Champion Levi Vick, and Bobby Biggs to play in the LIEFL. Commissioner Billy O'C would love to have the remainder of the coaches join but the issue is we have one season left in the LIEFL and the amount of exhausting work that goes into making a great league, we couldn't handle. Perhaps we will combine forces and begin a new journey by creating a new Long Island League. It's complicated for many reasons. Reason one is, rebuilding a league and for the LIEFL members, starting over. The LIEFL figures all belong to Billy O'C and he already told us after the league folds, we would have to buy our own teams if we wanted to continue a league. That is fair. They are his teams, and his and Ed Viggs league. O'C is finished and to Viggs, he'll do what O'C wants in the finale. Here is how he Johnny-Freeport's Falcons faired: Game #1: Round 1: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (9-2) vs. NEFL-Nassau Trojans Falcons 50 Trojans 20 We did the count on the stats. BOOM! Johnny-Freeport came out with his own TOP GUNS blazing! LIEFL ALL-PRO Gerald Riggs exploded for 506 all-purpose yards, with 20 touches, including four touchdowns, two of them were 100-yard returns against the all-Maroon Trojans. Also, Falcons receivers Julio Jones scored one touchdown, and LIEFL-Super Bowl XVIII star Austin Hooper had two electrifying touchdown catches of 43 and 22 yards! On defense "Posse" defender Deion Sanders had two sacks working the blind and weak side of the Trojans offense. They were no match for these Falcons. LIEFL ALL-PRO Bill Fralic had five tackles as the Dirty Birds frontmen paved the way for Riggs and company! Great start to the tournament for the Falcons and the posse! Game #2: Round 2: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (10-2) vs. NEFL-Team USA Falcons 44 Team USA 16 BAM! LIEFL Gerald Riggs surprised! Riggs busted out rushing for 235 yards with four touchdowns, one of the runs was 74 yards into the endzone with Johnny-Freeport just getting warmed up! Freeport dominated Team USA. Freeport aired it out with two touchdown catches by Austin Hooper! Team USA with no match for Atlanta. The Falcons killed the clock with Riggs finishing the game with over 483 all-purpose yards! The Falcons defense crushed USA, limiting them to 134 yards in the game. Falcons lineman Claude Humphrey had four tackles for the Dirty Bird Posse who chased down a Team USA, who passed most of the game. Falcons defender Deion Sanders had three tackles including a tackle in the backfield on a key second down loss for 17 yards, giving the Dirty Birds full advantage. Hats off though to the running back on Team USA wearing white jerseys with a white helmet featuring a red and blue star on it, who Freeport said was a great base. One great blocker on the line vs the posse is no match for a team as Freeport's 44 unanswered points gave the Falcons the win in a runaway over Team USA! Game #3: Round 3: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (11-2) vs. NEFL-Prime-Time Wreckers Falcons 38 Prime Time Wreckers 23 BATTA-BING! The Silver and Blue numberless NEFL Wreckers were ready for Johnny-Freeport's Falcons after watching the Dirty Birds demolished Team USA 44-16 in Round I. LIEFL-Johnny Freeport switched it up in this game with his Dirty Bird Posse, this time by putting the ball in the silent but deadly Jamaal Anderson's hands. Anderson bullied his way to three rushing touchdowns and Gerald Riggs scored two as the Wreckers could not stop the offensive running attack of the LIEFL Atlanta Falcons, and Johnny-Freeport's Falcons are again going to the finals! Jamaal Anderson rushed for 174 yards on 15 carries and Riggs had 109 yards rushing on six carries as the Falcons manhandled the Wreckers! This league is far different than how Billy O'C organizes. Game #4: TOP GUN CHAMPIONSHIP: LIEFL SB XVIII Champion Atlanta Falcons (12-2) vs. NEFL- G L A D I A TO R S(16-0) Falcons 24 Gladiators 3 HOOYAH! Johnny-Freeport sent a message to the NEFL coaches as to who's Boss in this tournament, but it wasn't easy! Freeport walked away with the $$$Prize after a defensive crushing of the Nassau season Champion G L A D I A T O R S in the Top Gun Championship Game! The LIEFL Atlanta Falcons have won nine straight games in the past month! It was Gerald Riggs two 100-yard touchdown returns and one rushing touchdown, (Photo: Gerald Riggs on his 28-yard TD run), a 28 yard scamper by Riggs with Bill Fralic leading the way into the endzone, that silenced the tough Gladiators, but they fought hard. NEFL Champion Andy Biggs couldn't get his G L A D I A T O R offense going against the Falcons posse. Biggs little brother threw two interception passes that the Falcons took advantage of and Atlanta worked the clock. Even with the long counts for the NEFL and turnarounds, Johnny-Freeport had huge success running the ball, but he also had issues with the Nassau EFL rules. If the teams were more competitive in the NEFL, Freeport may have had bigger challenges passing. The Gladiator uniforms were very nice, but they had no numbers. The league doesn't number their players because they believe that a team is a team and numbers only label. To each his own. The Falcons beat the best team in the NEFL who were previously undefeated and The League Super Bowl champ. Johnny-Freeport beat Bobby Biggs brother Andre in the finals! The one thing is, it might be the first time that Freeport didn't trash talk. Johnny Freeport said by email, " Didn't like the rules, teams were average, coaching was good, but when in doubt run, run, run! I'm finished for the year! Unless of course there's a two or $3,000 tournament going on. I came into this tournament to dominate, and really my guys did all the work. Atlanta is solid all the way around. My backfield is still hungry, so it's good that I gave the ball to it my boy Anderson because when you're watching this guy do what he does with that speed, you know you have a player." Gerald Riggs showed everyone who can play didn't he? I appreciate Joey Pizz and Brannigan for coming to the final game, and Levi Vick too. The competition was good, but I've played better. The proof in the play is, the Biggs boys are no match for my guys. The league is nowhere near as organized as the LIEFL." Freeport earned $500 more dollars playing against the 67-Big MEN best of best teams from the Levi Vicks former Nassau League.The Nassau EFL plays a ten game season with 24 teams. The NEFL seemed anxious to play the LIEFL SB Champion and they kept their promise to play our SB Champion with their SB Champion in this $500 dollar "Top Gun" Tournament. The Tournament MVP Gerald Riggs

THAT IS A STEAL!

THOSE 620'S work great! There are several for sale on eBay right now.

We used it in a few practice games in the LIEFL but ended up giving it away because we didn't like the performance level of the game. We prefer the old school great quality games made by Tudor and some from Miggle Toys.

Our people were there to capture it all! Live from WLIW with no further delay ... your Penn State Nittany Lions! ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
